System was easy enough to set up. I was able to set up the camera's ,wiring, and install the user program on my pc to view and save recorded footage in 2 evenings after work, about 5 hours total time.I also have been able to view my home security camera via the internet remotely, however I have been unable to view in real time remotely. The streaming program that is included is very vague on how to set it up , I will have to get some tech help to finish that part of the setup, for now I can view remotely with about a 20 minute lag time. Camera's have a great picture ! So far I am very pleased with my purchase.
